So Bill moves to Spain or Italy, renounces his US citizenship, and applies

If you check out the fine print on the UN Charter you should see that no citizen of a permanent member of the Security Council can be a Secretary General. The US would either have to pull out of the UN or clintoon would have to renounce his US citizenship.

You happen to have a specific citation to that "fine print" in the U.N. Charter? 'cause I've never been able to find it, and I've looked.

Hmm... not so fast.. I've had a pretty careful read of that charter as well, and I'll be darned if I can find any such preclusion.

And I wouldn't put this past Clinton, the little publicity-mad b*st*rd. Yeah, it's just like him to go for this tasty tid-bit and there's little anyone in the US can do to stop him. I can neither explain nor understand the charisma of this oaf but somehow he's got it and knows how to use it - wherever he goes a huge cadre of silly idiots mindlessly follows behind him like a wake behind an ocean liner.

Yes, WJC will very likely get this appointment because there's nothing standing in his way. Don't suppose Bill's got a chance of having a suddenly bad heart or other critical illness anytime soon? I think God's intervention is the only way to stop him at this point (although HE has not been terribly helpful so far, so I've little hope there, either.)

The world really is going in the toilet. Sigh.
